Effects of osteoporosis and drugs on bone biomechanics. [PDF]
, 1996 PhD16 New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits were ovariectomised (OVX) and 20 left intact as age-matched controls. 4 controls were killed at time 0, then 4 from each group at 1,3,6 and 12 months post-OVX. Serum oestradiol and body weight were recorded.

Bone mineral density and bone turnover in male master track and field athletes aged 40-64 [PDF]
, 2010 We evaluated areal bone mineral density (aBMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and markers of bone turnover in male competitive masters athletes representing different training profile in the past and at present, aged 40–64 (14 endurance runners, and 12 ...

Non-invasively assessed skeletal bone status and its relationship to the biomechanical properties and condition of cancellous bone [PDF]
, 2005 Cancellous bone constitutes much of the volume of bone which makes up axial skeletal sites such as the vertebrae of the spine and the femoral neck. However the increased vascularity of cancellous bone compared with cortical bone means that it is more ...

Adjusting bone mass for differences in projected bone area and other confounding variables: an allometric perspective. [PDF]
, 2002 The traditional method of assessing bone mineral density (BMD; given by bone mineral content [BMC] divided by projected bone area [Ap], BMD = BMC/Ap) has come under strong criticism by various authors. Their criticism being that the projected bone "area"

Bone geometry and volumetric bone mineral density in girls with Turner syndrome of different pubertal stages [PDF]
, 2010 Objective An increased rate of fractures has been reported in patients with Turner syndrome (TS). We aimed to assess bone geometry and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) at the radius in girls with TS and to evaluate the relationships between bone

Recent origin of low trabecular bone density in modern humans [PDF]
, 2014 Humans are unique, compared with our closest living relatives (chimpanzees) and early fossil hominins, in having an enlarged body size and lower limb joint surfaces in combination with a relatively gracile skeleton (i.e., lower bone mass for our body ...

Prediction of risk of fracture in the tibia due to altered bone mineral density distribution resulting from disuse: a finite element study [PDF]
, 2014 The disuse-related bone loss that results from immobilisation following injury shares characteristics with osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and the aged, with decreases in bone mineral density leading to weakening of the bone and increased risk of ...

Effect of anastrozole on bone mineral density and lipid profiles when used to prevent breast cancer in high risk postmenopausal women [PDF]
, 2012 PhDThe role of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in breast cancer has expanded since their introduction in the mid-1990s. They are superior to tamoxifen in the treatment of postmenopausal women with oestrogen dependant tumours in the metastatic, neoadjuvant ...

Upper Limb Muscle–Bone Asymmetries and Bone Adaptation in Elite Youth Tennis Players [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction: The study of tennis players allows the nonracket arm to act as an internal control for the exercising racket arm. In addition, the study of the upper limbs removes the influence of gravitational loading, allowing the examination of the ...
